Children's Healing Art Project (C.H.A.P.)
Children’s Healing Art Project (CHAP) brings the healing power of art to children in crisis and their families with a mobile team of teaching artists working in Portland’s children’s hospitals.
CHAP’s has created art classes tailored to the needs of the children we serve in each partner facility: Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, Shriners Hospital for Children, Legacy Emanuel Children’s Hospital & at Art Club (CHAP’s out-of-hospital art camp in our Pearl District studio).
CHAP offers one-on-one classes for children in isolation and group classes in playrooms, lobbies and waiting rooms. CHAP classes include drawing, painting, sculpture, computer animation, mask making and jewelry. CHAP classes offer a place where nervous energy is transformed into creative energy. Our common language is based in the creative process of making art, which crosses all gender, age, and cultural, religious and ethnic boundaries. CHAP classes offer an art experience that engages and inspires -- where children can be seen for their artistic talents and not for their disease, diagnosis or disability.
